Explanation:

Question 14

• Option a: Futsal goalkeepers can leave the penalty area (but with restrictions on handling the ball outside). Eliminate a.
• Option b: In futsal, goalkeepers cannot hold the ball longer than 4 seconds. This is a correct restriction.
• Option c: Goalkeepers can use hands within the penalty area. Eliminate c.
• Option d: While often goalkeepers wear different jerseys, it's not a strict "restriction" in the same way as time with the ball, and some leagues may have different rules, but the 4 - second rule is a core restriction. So b is correct.

• Option a: A goal kick is a restart after a ball goes out over the goal line (not the start of a match). Eliminate a.
• Option b: A throw - in is for when the ball goes out over the sideline (not the start of a match). Eliminate b.
• Option c: A futsal match begins with a kick - off at the center circle, similar to soccer but with futsal - specific rules. This is correct.
• Option d: A referee's drop ball is a restart for certain situations (not the start of a match). Eliminate d.

Answer:

b) They cannot hold the ball longer than 4 seconds.
